South Pacific new cast power rankings


1. JIM RICE
Occupation: Poker Player
First impressions: He seems like a shady guy. Despite his cockiness he seems fun, albeit perhaps a little sleazy. I expect him to get in a good alliance and should be fairly strategic. I think he could be a good villain.
Prediction: He'll make Jury, but will fall just short of the finals due to not being trusted.

2. JOHN COCHRAN
Occupation: Lawyer
First impressions: He's a Survivor superfan, so expect him to have game. He's not strong physically though, so he might be vulnerable to being an early boot. However, I think he will know the best way to present himself, and few will recognise him as a threat.
Prediction: They'd be wrong. John is a big threat to go all the way.

3. MIKAYLA WINGLE
Occupation: Playboy model
First impressions: Athletic, flirty and smart. Could she be the full package? Jeff Probst seems to think so, comparing her to Boston Rob. That's a big claim considering how much Jeff adores him.
Prediction: She's the frontrunner.

4. EDNA MA
Occupation: Doctor
First impressions: A strong personality, Edna seems hilarious, and I'd love to see her do well. Unfortunately, if her bossy side comes out, she probably won't.
Prediction: Pre-Jury. Enjoy her snark while it lasts.


5. RICK NELSON
Occupation: Rancher
First impressions: This badass cowboy is bursting with enthusiasm and is such a likeable guy. He will be a hard worker around camp, but may rub people up the wrong way or find it hard to relate to the younger crowd. He already mocked Coach in his audition video, and by chance he has ended up on the same tribe as him.
Prediction: First boot like Chicken, unfortunately.

6. MARK ANTHONY CARUSO
Occupaton: New York cop
First impression: I like Mark. His loudmouth nature should provide entertainment. He claims he wants to be the daddy of the group, and I think he's got a good chance of pulling it off. A loyal, honorable guy like him is certainly someone I'd have in my alliance.
Prediction: As long as he doesn't slow his tribe down in challenges, he'll make the merge.

7. ELYSE UMEMOTO
Occupation: Beauty Queen
First impressions: It's hard to say who's hotter between her or Mikayla. Elyse is the one with a wild side though. Don't underestimate her just because she's a party girl - she's planning on bringing all the skills she learned at Pageants to the show.
Prediction: Could go either way. They might get her out early for being a troublemaker, or she could flirt her way to the end.

8. BRANDON HANTZ
Occupation: Russell's nephew
First impressions: This guy has got a lot of baggage. Hopefully he keeps his last name a secret. He seems like a loveable scamp, though.
Prediction: Will play a different game to his uncle, but should be just as successful.


9. SOPHIE CLARKE 
Occupation: Med student
First impressions: A very intelligent girl, but seems socially awkward and overconfident. The physical or strategic game won't be her problem, it'll be fitting in.
Prediction: She's got potential, but will probably disappoint.


10. DAWN MEEHAN
Occupation: Teacher
First impressions: The crazy older lady typically doesn't do well on Survivor, but I think Dawn will surprise people. Her social, strategic and physical game will have a lot more to offer than you may think.
Prediction: Probably no higher than mid-Jury.


11. WHITNEY DUNCAN
Occupation: Country singer
First impressions: She seems like a darling. I have doubts about how much entertainment she'll provide, but she'll certainly be good eye candy. The under-the-radar Queen.
Prediction: Could ride coattails to the very end.


12. SEMHAR TADESSE
Occupation: Poet/actress
First impressions: Uh, there's little here to indicate any chance of staying in the game long. This busty diva is more worried about her hair than playing Survivor.
Prediction: Most obvious early boot ever.

13. ALBERT DESTRADE
Occupation: Basketball coach
First impressions: The douchebag jock of the group. Albert looks to be the best athlete of the group, but the way he brags about his ability isn't endearing.
Prediction: He won't win. His best chance is an immunity run.


14. STACEY POWELL
Occupation: Mortician
First impressions: Seems sassy, but not in an obnoxious way. Indicating she wants to get rid of the returning players is a good sign. Expect her to get very little screentime.
Prediction: Pre-Jury.

15. KEITH TOLLEFSON
Occupation: Environmentalist
First impressions: I've tried, but I just can't find anything interesting about Keith. His pacemaker sets him up as a sob story/jury threat, and he might be another of those Matt Elrod types that are just too "nice" for Survivor.
Prediction: Won't make the endgame.

16. CHRISTINE SHIELDS
Occupation: Teacher
First impressions: If Christine plays as good a game as she talks, she'll do well. But I'm not getting my hopes up for this one. She's unlikely to have much impact on the season at all.
Prediction: Gone before the merge.
